Can Religion Make You Happier?
Manage episode 430354488 series 3574198
America is in a “loneliness epidemic.” But is turning to religion the answer?
Host Jerusalem Demsas talks to Arthur Brooks, a professor at the Harvard Business School who teaches classes on leadership and happiness. He’s also a contributing writer for The Atlantic where he has written that happiness comes, in part, through faith.
Brooks argues that the “nones”—people who identify with no religion—are unhappier (at least, on average) than people who believe in a greater power.
